- Why Slop Soft you ask? A quick glance at the code and you'll see why we
- named ourselves in such a way. You see we at Slop Soft beleive that
- software shouldn't be overworked with 19 versions before release. "If it
- works, release it!" is our moto. Mind you, this program works, very well
- actually (we think). And what the code looks like isn't important, it's
- what the program looks like to the user that is! Inefficiency is our best
- weapon to knock out the competition. You see, we can pump out more volume
- for your download credit. Enough beating around the bush, it's written
- in basic and compiled with an old compiler. Give us a break!!

- First of all, we recommend you create a directory for the program's
- data files. The name of this directory can be anything, however, you
- must assign it to the logical device DA:. This can be done as following:
-
- 1> makedir <directory name>
- 1> assign DA: <directory name>
-
- Next, you must copy all the data files to this directory.
-
- 1> copy DA.stats DA:
- 1> copy DA.data DA:
-
- The main program 'DA' can be placed in any directory.
